This aquaponics system, designed as a therapeutic indoor display has been developed by N.I. Teijin Shoji. An aquaponics system consists of a fish tank and a vegetable planter, which are connected by pipes. It utilizes the fish waste as nutrients for the plants, in a symbiotic closed-loop cultivation system.
This compact design, where the water, ornamental fish, and vegetables can all be seen together, was created by a.a.c., an aquarium production company.
“In this system, the fish droppings are decomposed by bacteria, so they become organic fertilizer for the plants. Aquaponics isn't yet widely known in Japan.
